Composite Parts

Surface Prep & Protection for Composite Structures

3MTM solutions for composite part manufacturing include surface preparation products, adhesion promoters, and protective films that safeguard finished surfaces through the assembly process. Designed to meet the tight tolerances and cleanliness standards of aerospace composite production.
Surface Treatment Films Aerospace Tapes Composite Protection Films AP Adhesion Promoters

Engine & Nacelle

High-Temperature Adhesives & Sealants for Propulsion

The engine environment demands materials that perform under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. 3MTM one-part and two-part structural adhesives offer high-temperature bond strength, while polysulfide and specialty sealants handle nacelle and thrust reverser assemblies where durability is non-negotiable.
